I’m confused are they moving? Can’t see it anywhere has she announced it??
Apparently they “unexpectedly have to relocate due to work”. She hasn’t announced yet but their house is on the market and that’s what they say in the description.

I can’t believe she would be moving any further away from NNB 🤣

Lmao that’s the weirdest house description I’ve read on Rightmove, why’s it written like an IG caption? 🤣

Do not buy ‘relocating for work’, definitely money issues or moving closer to family for more help. TNB will be devo’d about his gym.

*Breaking News*: They are "unexpectedly relocating". Her house is on Rightmove as of yday (for £400,000K more than what they bought it for might I add). Within the details she has scripted a full on blurb about the house (ChatGPT), it's written as if it's from Tommy's perspective but you can hear her voice as you read it. I'm a local so I say good riddence, but the timing of this "sudden relocation" with Ryan and Lucy moving is too coincidental!

Also they say in their essay it's to do with work related things. Her sudden rehashing of Jeremy Vine content makes me wonder if there's a link there...
Did you just happen to see it @Love_laugh _live or were you in the know that it was being listed?

It is a beautiful house. It did not need that bizarre word salad description, which went on wayyy too long and really started to repeat itself towards the end.

I know right! She will surely need to have a live in nanny when they move? The alternative is Ashley parenting more which I’m sure she isn’t planning to do.
The kids will coincide with her having a breakdown after Ada. She was all rainbows and butterflies at this stage with alf and then she hates when they do more. That plus way less flexible childcare…I can’t wait to see the car crash.


I’m also dyyyying to see her reaction when she finds out that the secrets out! She’s in London so won’t be reading here her but she will. She’ll go mental and take it out on Tommy 😂

SELLERS INSIGHT I'll never forget the moment we first walked through the door of our home: it was a love at first sight moment for both of us, and we knew it was where we wanted to create a home and expand our family.

It's a period home with so much character and whilst it is so peaceful and private, it's just 1 minute to the high street and 7 minutes to the station. During the summer months we enjoy sunshine all day in our garden - which we have transformed into a sanctuary.

We came here 2 years ago as a new family of 3. It ticked all our boxes: We wanted a central place where friends & family could come together. We had our first child in Battersea during lockdown but quickly outgrew our flat so wanted to find a location that was walking distance to a family friendly high street, had great schools and transport links into London. It was the perfect location between London and our family based at Frinton-On-Sea.

It hasn't disappointed: as a family we enjoy weekends having brunch at Gail's, Brentwood Kitchen, Figo's or Malina's. Visiting the animals at Old McDonald's Farm, seeing the deer at South Weald Park, and emersed in nature at the Gruffalo trail. King George's Park is the most wonderful park all year round - having just had a £7m redevelopment where you can now enjoy soft play, crazy golf, a fully accessible park and splash pad! It also has a great golf course! We're only a short drive from the seaside and all the wonderful independent shops and bars at Leigh On Sea, and equally as close to both Lakeside and Bluewater shopping centres.

It's been so convenient having such proximity to the high street - there is a Marks & Spencer and a brilliant pilates studio just a 2 minute walk away. We've seen such improvement to the high street in our time here with Pret and Gail's both opening up recently. We're lucky to have a large supermarket within walking distance.

During the time we've been here, we have poured our heart into creating our perfect family home. My wife has always been good at making a house a home, and we used an interior designer to help being our vision to life to a high quality and to ensure it's in keeping with the period home. During our time here we have created bespoke fitted furniture - from the playroom shelving to the wardrobes with very generous space for clothes. We've plastered and painted the walls, redecorated the ensuite and shower room, added high quality runners to the stairs, reupholstered all the incredible window seats, and even created a home gym complete with professional gym flooring. We have resprayed all the kitchen including the re-enamelling of the Aga - and added high-quality wooden shelving. We added Banham locks to all of the doors - but I'd say our proudest achievement is the creation of the front and back gardens. We worked with a landscape design company to create a show-stopping front and back space that is as friendly for the birds and bees as it is for our family. We split the back into two sections: creating an outdoor eating and dining area where you can step out from the dining area, and then a more relaxed area to lounge and play in. As you can enjoy the sun all year round, we added Sonos speakers and equipped it with a Grillo oven complete with pizza oven making it the perfect space for entertaining family and friends of all ages!

We truly lucked out with our neighbours: on one side we have the cathedral, it's also where our son has enjoyed truly exceptional childcare at the childminders and preschool. And on the other side, we have a retired Priest who spends a large part of his time away helping families in South Africa. He's truly the kindest neighbour who we will miss dearly.

The house would suit a family who want to create a home next to the brilliant schools nearby - be it state or the excellent private school that is just a short walk away. You want the peace & quiet and quality of a beautiful period home with access to the high street or Pilates studio just a short walk away. You want to be able to easily commute into London - Brentwood station is a seven minute walk away where you can get the elizabeth line into London on an air conditioned train!

In the time we've lived here we've seen so much improvement in the area and have really enjoyed the friendly and kind community. It's very bittersweet that we'll be leaving our home - we are now a family of 4 and could have happily have stayed here until the children had grown up given the amazing schools and spaces for children. It's such a family friendly town! We have to unexpectedly relocate for work - but we really hope the next family enjoy our home and the area as much as we have. It truly is a hidden gem!

THE PROPERTY Situated next to Brentwood Cathedral, this remarkable former ecclesiastical detached home showcases stunning Victorian architecture and offers a generous 2,750 sq ft of living space spread over three floors. A detached double garage and rear parking add to the convenience of this property. As you approach the home, its size is immediately evident, with striking architectural features including a double-height bay and balcony beneath a timbered gable supported by large, scalloped brackets. A charming black and white tiled path leads to a brick-arched storm porch and a London-style front door.

The grandeur of the home continues inside, starting with an entrance hallway that exudes character, featuring exposed brick, timbers, and an ornate fireplace. This section of the home showcases an earlier age of construction, contrasting with the late-Victorian theme found throughout the rest of the property. A magnificent lounge/parlour takes advantage of the large bay window, offering a window seat and a recessed fireplace with side seating. The kitchen, complete with an Aga, connects to a raised living space that encompasses dining and sitting areas, creating the perfect space for family living and entertaining. The dining area features a vaulted ceiling topped by a lantern roof, flooding the room with natural light. The kitchen also includes a concealed utility cupboard designed for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and a cloakroom/wc completes the ground floor.

Two staircases lead to the same open landing, inviting thoughts about the home's history and how the layout might have been used in the past. The first floor boasts a stunning master suite, two additional double bedrooms, and a family bathroom. The luxurious master bedroom occupies the upper section of the large bay window and opens to a small balcony. It also features an en-suite shower room and a dressing area. The second floor offers two more bedrooms, one of which has a charming small door leading to a hidden den or storage room.

Externally, the property is secured by pedestrian gates at the front and rear. The rear garden, enclosed by walls, offers total privacy and leads to a parking area and a double garage with an electric door (accessed via St Thomas Road). Few homes in Brentwood can match the captivating blend of period style, spacious living space, convenience, and privacy offered by this property. It is truly a fine home awaiting its next deserving owner.

I think tattle bans linking it, but search Brentwood on rightmove and filter from high to low, plus added in the last 3 days,
Still can’t find it! What’s the price range? The houses in Brentwood all seem huge and spacious compared to theirs!

I notice that Ada hasn’t even got a bedroom decorated in that house. One is Alfs room, one office, one dressing room and Tommys room.

So is she going to be on Packed Lunch?

Or are they going back to London?

Or is she going to do a Mrs Hinch and call ‘privacy issues’

The world salad description screams over justification for moving. I’ve never seen anything like it and shows they’re in a rush. I wonder if she’s pulled Alf out of CM, Rara’s now full time and they’ll move over summer if she’s doing JV or SPL. They could be house hunting today. She knows tattlers would come across it on Rightmove before announcing.

Work commitments… suuuureeeee
